Troubleshooting

The information provided on this page applies to general troubleshooting questions and actions when using OmniVista Cirrus. You can also find troubleshooting information embedded within the following features:

I signed up for a new account (or an invited account), but I can't find the verification email to activate my account

Click here to expand...

Give the email address associated with the account to the OmniVista Cirrus R10 Super Admin. The Super Admin can then find the confirmation token in the Super Admin dashboard and provide you with the confirmation URL to verify your account.

My account has been successfully created but I don’t see any data in OmniVista Cirrus 10

Click here to expand...

To see data in the OmniVista Cirrus R10 UI, please check that the following main steps have been completed:

  • Access Points are upgraded to the supported build number. More information.

  • The correct Ports in your Firewall are open and devices are not behind a proxy. More information.

  • The Analytics/QoE URL configured on your Access Points declared in OmniVista Cirrus R10 as Analytics Only devices (not configurable from the OmniVista Cirrus R10 user interface). More information.

  • Devices are declared in your organization. More information.

  • The date set in your Access Points is correctly configured for your Timezone.

From the OmniVista Cirrus 10 UI, how do I know if my Access Points are connected to the platform?

Click here to expand...

When your Access Points are correctly configured and connected to the OmniVista Cirrus R10 platform, you can see the date on which they issued data for the last time in the Last Seen column of the Device Catalog screen.

If you don’t see any date in this column, it means that the configuration of your Access Points has not been done properly. Please check this page for further details.

Device Catalog Screen

I want to update a configuration object, but I can't click on the Save button. It is disabled (grayed out)

Click here to expand...

Try one of the following options to enable the Save button:

  • Check to see if there are any fields on the screen that are required but they weren’t configured. If so, configure the required fields.

  • Try changing another attribute/field with a current value or change a check box selection, then change it back.

I am not able to see the data in the table contents

Click here to expand...

Zoom out with your browser, then reload the page by doing a browser refresh or clicking on the Refresh icon, if available.

In my custom dashboard, I cannot click on the table action buttons (refresh, configuration, full screen, export)

Click here to expand...

The screen is not wide enough to correctly display the action buttons. Please zoom out with your browser until the action buttons are on the same line as the table title. You should then be able to click on the buttons.

I open an SSH Terminal session after entering login credentials, but there is no message in the Terminal window console

Click here to expand...

There is a delay to open a connection to the device shell, as the console is waiting for the device's message. If it takes more than one minute and there is still nothing, please check the Internet connection, then close the console and restart a new SSH session.

The Access Point Health Threshold data doesn’t reflect the changes done even after saving the changes and getting the success notification message.

Click here to expand...

If the data doesn't reflect the changes after seeing the success notification message, click on the refresh button in the table or refresh the page to get the updated data.

The Device Health color and counter aren't updated after the threshold was saved and getting the success notification message.

  1. Make sure the Access Point or OmniSwitch is running the minimum software required.

    1. AWOS 4.0.8 for an Access Point.

    2. 8.9R1 minimum (8.9R4 recommended) for an OmniSwitch.

  2. Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the device to reflect the new threshold value.

I get an error message while accessing the User Interface for Network Access > UPAM-NAC and Network Access > Accounts screens.

Click here to expand...

If you always get the error message "The service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." while accessing the above screens or other menu items, then please try updating the timezone of your Organization as it will synchronize the data for the OmniVista Cirrus Menu items.

You can update the timezone by accessing the Basic settings screen, (Organization > Settings > Basic settings).

I am not able to customize the WiFi4EU captive portal template for SSID and got error 500 when deploy changes to Access Point with layout type WiFi4EU.

Click here to expand...

To customize the WiFi4EU captive portal template, you have to upload another photo for the template’s banner as there is no button to edit the default template. However, you can edit the Login Background color and Login Button.

Before opening an eSR, please follow the steps below to make sure your Analytics Only Access Points are correctly configured:
